## About

Tom McGovern is a New York Times bestselling food and hospitality photographer based in Los Angeles and Las Vegas, working with restaurants, hotels, resorts, cruise lines, and cookbooks across the US and internationally.

Over a decade of commercial work has shaped an approach that is editorial at its core: imagery that makes food look the way it tastes and gives hospitality brands something they can actually use across print, digital, and social. Tom shoots stills and motion, and a growing share of projects combine both. A single campaign production can deliver hero photography alongside short-form video and social reels, reducing the cost and coordination of running separate shoots.

Clients range from independent restaurant groups to multi-property hotel brands and international cruise lines. Cookbook credits include NYT bestselling titles published nationally, with work alongside Food Network personalities and widely-read food authors. Location work has taken Tom to New Zealand, the Caribbean, Europe, Mexico, and throughout North America.

Engagements are structured two ways: project-based shoots scoped to a specific campaign, menu launch, or season; and monthly retainer arrangements for ongoing content, with a fixed number of shoot days and defined deliverables each month. The retainer model builds a consistent visual library over time rather than relying on infrequent one-off sessions.

Services include commercial food and beverage photography, restaurant and menu photography, hotel and resort photography, interior and spaces photography, cruise line and tourism photography, editorial photography, cookbook photography, short-form brand video, social content reels, and on-site food photography workshops.

Tom has led photography education sessions for hospitality brands, including a members-only workshop at Soho House Los Angeles during their Soho Food Festival programming.
